Enterprise obviously didn't have the lifetime of some of the other shows, but I think the problems it went through galvanized the fans and made them really dedicated to it. When I first saw the pilot, I didn't think much of it. I don't think it was a particularly strong pilot, but the show got a lot better as it went on. I think the fact that it was cancelled had as much to do with reorganization at Paramount as what they thought of the show.
In retrospect I think the show was really underappreciated and like all Trek has done, could really have picked up steam right around season 3/4. I thought Season 2 was full of "nice little episodes" here and there, but lacked any cohesion. It was like TOS where they just flew around randomly doing stuff, and I think people have gotten bored with that. I know I sure have. So Season 3 was one huge, long arc. It was a little exhausting over a whole year, but if you watch them back to back it was excellent. Maybe a little too dark for some trekkies, but I thought it was a nice, welcome change. Season 4 just really got even stronger, and I think they could have had a beautiful "formation of the Federation" theme to work with as an arc model for the next few seasons.
Are there any lurking, in-the-closet Enterprise fans around here that want to come out and confess? Even better any Trip/T'Pol shippers? . All are welcome!
